Oolong & White Peach
Oolong tea is extremely versatile tea; different varieties can taste fresh and light, or strong and woody, or sweet. Combine with fruit like white peach and apple (you can buy this kind ready-made quite easily) for a florally flavour.
Red Rooibos Chai
Not just the honey-and-milk-latte type – although that’s very much a winner, hot or iced (with ice cream!). There’s also red rooibos chai, which suits those who like some spice but aren’t into sweet flavours. (Of course, sweet-tooths can add milk and honey to this variety too.) It also contains no caffeine so if you’re the kind of person who gets a whiff of coffee and then finds it hard to fall asleep at night, this one’s for you.
Pomegranate & Cranberry
For those who like a bit of tang with their green/herbal tea – and a dose of vitamin C. Add your favourite berries, or orange or apple. Or if you wanna get even more chill, a dash of your alcohol of choice!
Lemon & Ginger
This is a great one to customise. Some suggestions of stuff to add: fresh lemon juices/slices, mango, mint, honey, watermelon, vegies like celery or carrot. And ice. Lots of ice.
Thai Iced Tea
If you’re not that keen to branch out from your regular English breakfast, why not take a little step and go for a Thai iced tea? You brew black tea just the same, but then after cooling to room temperature and adding ice you add sweetened condensed milk and evaporated/whole/coconut milk. Finally, you can add star anise, cardamom and ground tamarind to taste.
